This is what a full week and x hours ahead of time? Would this not hurt the ratings for the television debut? Thanks, Cubed!

wheres jack burton when ya need him?

Pretty fun filler episode, some spoilers:

- The Purple Dragon get powers that resemble the Mystic Foot in the 2k3 series, while the Turtles get the same powers

- The ghost Ho-Chan was a pretty funny character

- Nice bonding between Don/Casey/April

Not much else to say about it, but the CG looked really good in this ep for some reason.

Being stuck in the hospital sucks!

So, was there any mention of what happened last ep? Any mention of Karai? Any slight tension between Leo and Splinter?

I know the ep is supposed to be about the triangle and possibly strengthening their friendship, but can't help but wonder about the things I mentioned as well.

Will anyone write a full ep synopsis under a spoiler tag.

I'm going to be admitted here for another week.

Not to mention, I wonder if something is going to happen to Raph's eyesight later on. That scene where Karai spat in his eye just did not come across as some random thing to me, but something that's going to be brought up later.

I was thinking the same thing and also wondered about Mikey's arm.

I'm surprised they put it up this early...

Cubed, I went ahead and fixed your title, so it'll match the format of the other threads, and pinned it. :)

Awe man, I want to watch it, but I promised my little cousins I would go over to their house next Friday with some pizza and we can make it a marathon of watching the last few episodes leading up to the new one. Should I wait, or go ahead and watch it? Wait, watch, wait, watch! This is killing me.

Same here. He might get some sort of an infection or a break out later on.

"I see.. a yellow jumpsuit.... no, it's just a t-shirt" :lol:


Thanks for the heads up! It was an OK episode.. I'm so tired of Donnie and his crush though.

Be patient, pretty soon we will have Mikey have his crush, and then Raph will get hit the hardest, since he seems to detest his other two brothers and their current crushes. It would be kind of fitting.

It's not working for me for some reason... it gets to a point right at the end of the opening song, and then it goes black and won't play further. :(

Guess I'll wait for Friday..

Is this the Nick player? Yeah, I'd have to wait anyways for another method to come around, the nick player buffers too much, and then it just gets so frustrating, it takes me out of the episoded entirely.

Pretty good filler episode. I loved that most of the plot was taken from Big Trouble in Little China, such an interesting choice.

It was a pretty good episode, I loved the Big Trouble in Little China homage in this. :)

Yeah I had to specifically download the Nick Android app and watched it on my phone... :P

Thinking about it, even if I weren't confined to a hospital bed and at home, I doubt I could watch it because I'm pretty sure videos on Nick's site would be blocked since I'm outside of the US.

Here's the direct link to the episode.

I can't watch it at all, says it unavailable for my location.

Error. :tcry:

What are you using, cause it works fine for me.

My phone. It's the only thing I have with Internet here in the hospital. Sucks I can't sneak out, go home, and come back but I'm sure they'd notice the empty foreigner's room and an unplugged IV drip. :P

Edit: I'll just wait until I'm discharged. I think the doc said about another week. It's weird. 2 weeks in the hospital altogether is just weird. lol

Wow, you don't live too far from me, I wonder if it would work now at this late hour. But, I'm so torn, I want to watch it for the first time with the little girls. Damn, I hate this. Out of curiousity, is Mikey really cute in this? My 8 year old cousin is absolutely in love with Mikey, and she gets so cute whenever he's really funny or kick ass on the show.

I wonder if James Hong is the voice of Ho-Chan, Cause he sounded like him.

he has a few moments but you should watch it on your own you don't need to wait for your cousin they won't know and its not that big of a deal any ways you saw a show with out a family member no big deal . you seem like a seasoned fan no need to lets kids get in the way of you watching it

So about that nice synopsis... Anyone? Please? ^^'

The whole evil Chinese Ghost reminded me of Jackie Chan Adventures including him enlisting 3 low grade goons and giving them super powers :tlol:

Wonder how long Irma is gonna be kept in the dark about the turtles and the other weird stuff that happens.

Irma was in the ep?

yeah,

Pretty rad! I'm a sucker for evil Chinese mythology & that sort of thing. Really felt like a 4kids episode, could totally have seen them doing this. Interesting to see a slightly different tone for the series. But YO, the highlight of this particular episode? THE SOUNDTRACK. WHOA. BEST OST EVER!

Is it me, or did everyone's voices sound slightly different somehow? Wonder if it's pitch shifting or something...

Maybe she was PMSing.:lol:

Wait...wha?

So, was there any reference made to all that happened in the last ep? Any Leo/Splinter tension or guilt before the Chinatown stuff?

They mention how they've looked for her for weeks to no avail, & that it has left Splinter in a sad state. Leo spends the scene making unhappy faces.

At least it's something. I'm just glad that it's referenced. So no tension between Splinter and Leo.

So has Splinter been off his game, lacking the ability enough to train the turtles due to his being so sad? Is it implied?

We see him in his room meditating, and Leo casts him a sad glance, like he's been there since Karai mutated.

I wonder if Leo's been leading training sessions in Splinter's absence.

a nice surprise to get the episode early, but last time this happened the episodes went up on iTunes too. This time? Nope!

Yeaahh....that was the worst Donnie Episode I've ever seen!

At least the last shot was cool...

Was able to watch the episode using Hulu on my laptop (for some strange reason, Google Chrome ad Hulu dosn't work on my computer)

Anyway it was a good episode but it's not in my top 10 though. Will post thoughts later.
